Those pieces that were previously published were revised and unified for the volume. The longest section on 'the oral and the literary epic' is derived from the J. H.

The epics are seen primarily as oral poetry sung for centuries by illiterate singers; and from this view rises discussion of the problems of authorship and transmission.

Kirkwood G. M.
A STUDY OF SOPHOCLEAN DRAMA
Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1958. Hardcover. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Spine lightly sunned. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. ; Although many commentators have dealt with various aspects of structure in Sophoclean drama G. M. Kirkwood contends that "Sophocles' mastery of dramatic form is accepted with casual and superficial deference rather than fully and clearly understood." This book shows how Sophocles' method of presenting character his unique handling of myth his predilection for presenting ideas by comparison and contrast and his principles of structure are so closely related that they serve to clarify each other. In an analysis of the form of Sophocles' seven extant plays Kirkwood demonstrates the existence of several deliberate and distinct types of dramatic construction. Sophocles' use of the chorus his irony and certain aspects of diction are considered as a part of his dramatic art and as elements of structure. Kirkwood discusses a number of traditional problems among them questions of consistency and meaning in passages from Ajax Antigone and Electra. He also considers the problem of "diptych" structure and shows that it is a definite dramatic shape of primary importance in understanding the three plays in which it appears. ; Cornell Studies in Classical Philology Vol. 31; 328 pages .
